Let’s be honest—how many of us actually take the time to plan our funerals? Sure, we’ve all heard stories about royalty and celebrities rehearsing their send-offs, but for most of us, it’s not exactly top-of-mind.

What Nunuza Wants: A Candid Look at Her Wishes
In her viral TikTok, Nunuza broke down her requests in a way that was both honest and relatable. She started by making it crystal clear: if there’s no ring on her finger, no one gets to claim her. That’s a bold statement, but it speaks to the importance of clarity in moments of grief. She also requested no "after tears," where people celebrate with drinks right after paying their respects. For her, it wasn’t about the party—it was about respecting her memory.
